Laser Skirmish - 2 Hours

Laser Skirmish is a new sport using the latest technology. Because the units dont have a projectile they are not firearms. Since there is no paint there is no mess. The guns shoot further, are more accurate and are not affected by wind. Plus there are no legal restrictions on this game.

Once you suit up, whether in our hired camouflage gear, or your own gear, you'll be kitted out with a camouflage baseball cap fitted with a sensor, camo face paint and a two-way radio. (Face paint and radios are optional with the corporate or bucks party pack, can be hired for $5).

A safety briefing and basic explanation of the rules are given, teams chosen and weapons selected. There are various types of gun to choose from including the Morita, which is based on the design of the gun in Starship Troopers and the Pulse rifle that resembles the gun in Alien 2.

The guns shoot an invisible and harmless infrared beam, which has a range of up to 150 metres. The sensor attached to your hat monitors the number of times you are hit during the game. Your aim when shooting is to hit the opponents 20 cm sensor area. But BEWARE referees monitor games to stop cheats from hiding their sensor.

Each time you are hit your gun lets you know by giving off a grunt and displaying the word 'ouch' on its screen. This means you have lost a life and you put up your hand to acknowledge it to the other team.

When you have run out of ammo you run to the bunker to re-charge and get back out on the field trying to avoid losing all of your lives. If you do, your gun will scream and the words Dead will appear on the screen to let you know that you are well and truly out of the game!
